Was this woman a queen? Is there any information other than whats with the picture. I look just like this statue.

Hi Swincha, Welcome to KingTutOne! That is cool to look like one of the ancients. It is how i got caught up into Egyptianology myself. I opened a book titled The Lost Queen of Egypt and saw myself as the Egyptian Queen pictured in the book. It can be quite a start!

Anyway, no she was not a queen, but the wife of a Prince of Egypt. The only title i know that she had was "known to the King" which is in itself a major title for a woman.

You can make out their names in the inscriptions. Ra-hotep (Re is satisfied) is described on the inscription as 'Chief of Seers', 'Overseer of the Army' and 'Keeper of the Sceptre' (?).
Nofret's name is also clearly visable. You can see it by both her shoulders, with a picture of a woman underneath. Above both names you can make out the phrase 'Aquaintance of the king' followed by her name. My translation checks out against what Sekhmet was saying about her being known by the king.

I have to agree with you on that one. For my Philosophy Class I decided to do an essay on the beliefs in Evil during the Middle Ages and I had to read about 400 books from the time. One in particular was like wading through treacle, it was called the "Malleus Maleficarum" by Sprenger and Kramer. It has to be the most boring, difficult book in the Ebnglish language. i did read it from cover to cover in three days though, so I am proud of myself. The book was written in 1484, so you can imagine what it was like to read!

My american history was 542 pages and it took me 4 months to read. I'mm ot even half way done with my "word usage" (my second book) book for practical english and i started that in i think late september.

America has a history that fills five hundred and fifty pages! There must be a lot of pictures! lol. We are studying American history at the moment actually, America in the 1920's, social and economic Boom and Bust! It is great fun lol, I would love to have met a flapper!

I only read about 200 pages. Then I cheated. Looked for certain words in the questions of my exam, then looked them up in the index of the American history textbook . About 1 out of every 7 pages was a picture. I passed all 5 exams from 88% to 96%. That means I missed 1-3 answers. There are 20-25 questions on my exams. Homeschooling is simple but sometimes annoying and boring.

His father was probably a Pharaoh, making him of quite high importance. The details of his mother are (I think) unsure so we do not know whether she was a principle wife or concubine. Judging from his titles and tomb it appears that he was of extremely highnoble birth, making him the son of a concubine seem less likely.
